HBPD Strikes Again 🚓

They’re absolute savages for “We are curious if the average $15,000 DUI will be more or less than the fence.”

Hahaha, classic.

Also — “we call that hit and run. It’s illegal.”

I need to hire these guys for some social media content.

Food 🌮

Went to this Thai place the other night.

I ordered Chicken Fried Rice — because I’m a baby.

And let me tell you…

THE QUANTITY. Goodness gracious.

I’m known in these parts for being what’s called a “Food Vacuum.”

When the waitress came by and saw my empty bowl, she goes “Wow. You ate the whole thing by yourself?” (but in a Thai accent)

And I have to admit, it was a bit of a stretch for me.

It was phenomenal, btw. Wife got the Pad Thai — super solid.

Thai Dishes. Try it out.
